Which is why it's mandatory in our organization that there be semesterly Risk Reduction meetings which are mandatory for all members to attend. We have to have everyone sign a sheet. Said sheet is mailed each semester to HQ.
In other words, there's no excuse for ignorance. Everyone should know that dressing up in a manner not normally publicly acceptable, scavenger hunts, etc. are verboten.
Also, I doubt HQ would close a chapter based on "harmless" evidence as you call it -- even if it were hazing. There are much less extreme ways of dealing with a chapter. I have no inside info, but I tend to think that the only way HQ closes a chapter is when that chapter is not being forthcoming with HQ regarding whatever conspiracy or HQ thinks that the culture of the chapter has become so corrupt that the only way to "fix" the chapter is to take the scorched earth approach, destroy it and then rebuild it.
